Abstract

For my thesis, I directed Kimberly Belflower’s play, John Proctor is the Villain . In this thesis, I will be taking a more analytical approach. I will be using the analysis and research to inspire the aesthetic and directing choices made in the production process. This was completed inside and outside of the rehearsal room, before the rehearsal process begins and during the process. I will be using analytical tools and research methods that inspired my concept for John Proctor is the Villain . This thesis will be completed in three chapters. The first is background information pertaining to the play. The second chapter is analysis. The third and final chapter is implementation and reflection. The first two chapters were written alongside rehearsals, while the last chapter was written after the closing of [performance @ new college]’s production of John Proctor is the Villain . Ultimately, this thesis presents a coherent argument, backing up directing choices made during this student directed show.
